To build a stronger partnership between humans and machines, it is vital to move away from a world where humans have to understand machines toa world where the machines understand us, answering (and behaving) in the way a human would do. ​Humanizing AI means integrating emotions into the ecosystem, aligning emotional intelligence, i.e. the Emotional Quotient (EQ) with normal intelligence (problem solving), i.e. Intelligent Quotient (IQ).

While great results have been achieved in the domain of IQ, the emotional side, the EQ has not received the attention it deserves. The aim of this workshop is to bridge this gap, advocating a more holistic view in order to encourage the AI community to do research within this new framework.
